Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 208

. 208 I Have A Confession To Make

Karl grew irritated when Wayne said what he was thinking. He said, “What’s wrong? You don’t think it’s not going to work? I’m sure

Peace will be fine.”

Wayne said firmly, “Oh, no, you’re such a naive fool. I think that since you will be married later, your parents will thoroughly check

her background. If they know that she had such a serious condition and you are concealing it from them, they would never give you their blessing.”

Wayne had met Karl’s parents when he was a child. They were nice parents who allowed Karl to do whatever he wanted as an adult.

They didn’t like being duped, though. So, if they later find out that Karl kept such an important secret from them, they would despise

Peace.

“You know, if that happens, your parents will hate Peace.”

Karl frowned and said, “Actually, I can just talk to my parents. You know, I’m not worried whether they’ll accept the truth or not. Peace can’t think straight now. So, if she finds out that I took the liberty of telling people we’re dating after she’s sober, she’ll be pissed. In

fact, she and I are actually on a break right now.”

Seeing that Karl could do this for her, Wayne figured he didn’t have to say anything more to persuade him. He gave Karl a friendly pat

on the shoulder and said, “Well, that’s all I want to say to you. By the way, Anna wants to talk to you after a while.”

“Sure,” Karl said with a nod.

After a while, Anna came out of the bedroom.

Wayne realized what he needed to do right now. As a result, he stood up and prepared to leave. “I’m heading to the garage now to

fetch my car,” he added.

As he finished and walked away, he gave Anna a glance.

“Have a seat, please,” Karl said.

Anna replied calmly, “Oh, no, I’m not sitting down. You didn’t take much of his words to heart, did you?”

Karl explained, “No, I know what Wayne was trying to say. He meant well, and he cared so much about me. But, actually, he wasn’t

thinking about Peace at all.”

Anna fixed her stare on him, her glance as sharp as a knife. She said, “Well, I am. I’m not going to say anything pleasant,

though.”

“That’s all right. You may say it now because I am prepared. In fact, I was prepared for anything from the moment I learned that she

was sick.”

“Good. But have you ever considered whether you’ll get tired of all these one days? Will you give up taking care of her because you

Can’t stand it any longer?” Anna asked seriously.

“One moment, please,” Karl replied, clenching his fist.

He then walked over to the bookcase in the corner of the room. He yanked open the bookcase’s bottom shelf door and slid a silver

portable sale out.

“Here‘s documentation of all my real estate, Anna. I own 36 properties in all, the most valuable of which is in London. I own six

houses in Birmingham, three of which are stores, which I have all rented out. The rest of the residences are scattered across the country

in various tourist destinations. And then, here are all my cars and documentation of ownership of my stock.”

“What are you showing me all this for?” When Anna saw him showing her so many documents, she was puzzled. Even though he

Karl stopped, looked up at her, and said seriously, “Anna, I know what you mean. You believe that I’ll run out of patience and won’t

be able to care for Peace any longer one day. Actually, I’ve thought about that too. But I’ll take care of her for the rest of my life unless /

said them anyway.

“Well, I’ve also thought about that. I’ve asked a trust, a welfare organization and a psychiatric hospital to keep an eye on each other
